Unveiling the Power of Fire Blankets: Your Ultimate Guide to Fire Safety
Meet Your Guardian Angel – The Fire Blanket
Welcome to the realm of fire safety, where a seemingly simple yet incredibly effective tool takes the stage: the fire blanket. In collaboration with Fire Prevention & Consultancy Services, based in the heart of Kolkata, let’s embark on a journey that transcends the mundane and embraces the extraordinary in fire and life safety.
Understanding Fire Blankets: Your Shield Against Flames
What Exactly is a Fire Blanket?
Imagine a superhero cape, but woven from fire-resistant materials. That’s your fire blanket, ready to smother and defeat small fires. At Fire Prevention & Consultancy Services, we prioritize your safety by recommending top-notch fire blankets crafted from high-quality woven fiberglass.
Where’s the Fire Blanket’s Battlefield?
Primarily, your kitchen is the battleground. It’s where the fire blanket steps in to tackle Class F fires (think sizzling cooking oils). But its utility extends beyond – from waste bin fires to clothing mishaps, this versatile defender has your back.
Strategic Placement: Where to Position Your Fire Blanket
Striking the Perfect Pose
Picture this: Your kitchen adorned with a well-placed fire blanket – not too close to the stove’s flames but within arm’s reach. At Fire Prevention & Consultancy Services, we recommend a wall-mounted setup, easily identifiable for swift access. And yes, it complements your fire extinguisher perfectly!
Businesses, Take Note
For enterprises, we emphasize the importance of proper signage. Let your fire blankets proudly display their readiness, strategically placed on walls to ensure a seamless response to any fiery encounter.
Choosing the Right Size: Sizing Up Your Safety
Small, Medium, or Large?
Fire blankets come in three sizes (1 x 1m, 1.2 x 1.2m, 1.2 x 1.8m). Choosing the right size depends on your potential fire scenarios. The smallest suits home kitchen escapades, while larger dimensions are ideal for commercial kitchens or workshop adventures.

Maintenance Matters: Ensuring Your Guardian’s Readiness
To Service or Not to Service?
In business settings, fire blankets should be commissioned upon installation and serviced annually. Regular check-ups ensure they’re battle-ready. Visual inspections, cleanliness checks, and proper container placement are key components of this annual health check.
Life Span of a Heroic Blanket
While there’s no fixed expiration date, we advise replacing fire blankets every 7 years from the purchase date. However, if it faces damage or combats a fire, immediate replacement is non-negotiable.
